The Black Earl thought Angel was weighing the pros and cons and didn't care, so he gave Angel time to think about it.
After a while, Angel said softly: "My lord, there is no need to test. What information can I know about the Noah family? It's just some gossip, and it won't have any impact on this exploration."
What Angel said is most likely true. Because it really has an impact, he would not agree to the Noah family coming. As for setting up a trap? Impossible, their arrival is completely accidental. Besides, with Angel
With your current strength, even if it is not a malicious setup, his inspiration can be easily discovered.
However, even if all Angel knew was some unimportant information, the Black Earl also wanted to know.
After all, the Demon Cult clearly recorded the mysterious ancestor of the Noah family on the table. Maybe what Angel knew was about this person?
"Are you sure you don't want to know how Sanders moved the illusion? If all you hear is just gossip, then I will exchange this secret and you won't suffer any loss."
Angel still shook his head: "No, even if you don't tell me, I probably know the truth of this secret."
Angel had fallen into silence for a period of time before. At that time, the Black Earl thought that Angel was just thinking about whether to make this deal. But in fact, Angel was scrutinizing the so-called "secret" mentioned by the Black Earl.
Although the Black Earl did not say anything about this secret, Angel knew Sanders well.
There must be a reason why Sanders didn't teach himself how to move the illusion, and he didn't even take the initiative to mention it.
Moreover, Sanders has no reason to hide his secrets on this.
So what could be the reason?
Is he not strong enough? Probably not. He is now an official wizard, and he is only one step away from true knowledge. Moreover, even if it is due to his strength, doesn't he even need to inform him in advance?
Now that Earl Black dared to tell him, it showed that the reason had nothing to do with his strength.
Apart from the factor of strength, another reason that Angel can think of is that Sanders is unwilling to let Angel learn his mobile illusion.
In other words, Sanders's mobile illusion has disadvantages. Moreover, it is the kind where the benefits are minimal, but the disadvantages are unbelievably huge.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Sanders not to even mention it.
Sanders once told Angel that in order to connect to the nightmare world passage, he completely cut off his nightmare soul body talent. Although he was qualified to enter the nightmare world, he lost further achievements.
Sanders can even talk about this kind of thing, but can't mention the moving illusion, so the answer is basically obvious.
Sanders was afraid that if he mentioned it, Angel would imitate it for various reasons even if he knew it was a drawback.
And Angel happened to have heard of one thing...
"Oh? Do you know this secret?" Black Earl asked doubtfully: "Did Sanders tell you?"
Angel: "No, but my lord has mentioned before that the mentor and elemental partners have also cooperated, but they didn't fit in for various reasons. And I successfully released this mobile illusion because it happened to match the attributes of the devil.
.”
"Combining these two factors, it can be basically inferred that if a mentor wants to perfectly release the mobile illusion, he only needs to find someone who suits him."
The Black Earl's voice suddenly became distant: "Then do you know who this person is?"
"My Lord just said something, the person who knows you best is your enemy." Angel pondered: "I think this sentence is slightly flawed. The person who knows you best is yourself first, and then
Your enemy; otherwise, if you don’t even understand yourself, then your life will be in vain.”
After Angel finished speaking, he stopped speaking. But his words already revealed who that person was.
The Black Earl looked at Angel deeply, and after a long time, he chuckled and said, "It seems that I am talking too much this time. I shouldn't have told you so much information about the Mobile Illusion before."
"However, I didn't count that you actually met another Sanders."
The Black Earl's words have already admitted that Angel's speculation is correct. The reason why Sanders can perfectly use the mobile illusion is because of another self in his body.
That person is exactly the same as Sanders, but even more evil.
The Black Earl continued: "Saunders will not let him go unless it is absolutely necessary. You have seen him before, which means that you have been in a very bad situation and are in danger of death at any time, and Saunders cannot tell the difference.
If you open your body, you can only let him come to you?"
Angel: "..."
Sure enough, he was an old monster. Just thinking about it, he could deduce everything about the original situation.
Seeing Angel's silence, the Black Earl knew that he was right: "Since you know this secret, we can't exchange information, so let's forget about it."
The Black Earl also didn't expect that Angel's intelligence was more agile than he imagined.
If it were the turn of another Sanders student, Su Mishi, to answer this matter, even if Su Mishi had met the other Sanders, given his character, he would not think that way.
He now recognized that it was no accident that Angel became the most dazzling star in the Southern Territory in a short period of time.
Angel's achievements may be due to chance, but this does not prevent it from being an inevitable result.
When the Black Earl was lamenting, Angel's voice came from the other end of the psychic belt: "Your Excellency told me about moving the illusion before, which can be regarded as an exchange of information. I can tell you one thing, I actually don't understand it.
What does this place have to do with the Noah family? I just happened to know that there once was a person named Noah here."
The Black Earl was stunned for a moment. He thought that Angel would definitely hide the secret, but he didn't expect that he would actually tell it?
"That man named Noah, who is he?"
Angel: "His name should have already appeared in your mind. I won't say it. After all, I am an outsider. If this Noah tribe member has not fallen, calling him by his name must be a sin."
Angel did not say who it was, but that did not prevent the Black Earl from confirming it.
It must be him, the most mysterious and legendary ancestor who hangs high in the first section of Noah's genealogy - Augustine Noah.
Black Earl: "You probably don't want to share the 'coincidence' you talk about with me, right?"
Angel: "You can share it, but not now."
Angel could tell the Black Earl something about Augustine, but not about the nightmare world, but about the time he met Augustine when he was refining the key. Of course, all of this
The premise is - Behind the Wall is related to Augustine.
If the destination corresponding to the key has nothing to do with the Noah family, then there is no need for him to say anything. However, this possibility is unlikely. After all, Augustine is personally responsible for the alchemy omen. If he has no relationship with him,
It is related, that can only be said... Angel once again encountered the most difficult alchemical omen.
"Then I'll look forward to that time coming." The Black Earl didn't want to get the answer immediately. He enjoyed the process of "expecting". He hadn't looked forward to something like this for a long, long time.
I believe that when I share my feelings with the real body at the end, the real body will also enjoy the adventure process like him, right?
…
Angel and the Black Earl have been chatting in "encryption", which makes others a little disappointed. They also want to hear the gossip.
Moreover, they were surrounded by mutated scavenging squirrels, and they really couldn't bear it if they didn't say something to distract them. It wasn't because they were afraid, but because the mutated scavenging squirrels were really ugly and special.
Beautiful creatures are all similar, but ugly creatures are each ugly in their own way.
So ugly that it hurts the eyes, so ugly that people can't look straight at it, so ugly that it can become a mental pollution...
This is the physical attack of the mutant scavenger squirrel.
"Speaking of which, how do so many mutated scavenging squirrels survive?" Kael asked curiously: "They probably smelled the living breath of Lord Red Sword before, so they chased after him like crazy. It looks like
Feed on living animals, but it doesn’t seem like there are too many living animals to satisfy their needs?”
"Perhaps they have counterattacked back to the stinking ditch. There must be a lot of monsters in the stinking ditch." Doakes said casually.
"Although they have a stink, I don't seem to smell the smell of the stinking ditch." Vai said, and took a special sniff. Of course, he didn't smell anything. Angel was still considerate in the illusion of light and shadow.
Created a purification force field.
"Such a huge population must be the result of years of reproduction. I'm really curious, how do they live?"
As soon as Kael finished speaking, the voice of the Black Earl rang out: "Scavenging squirrels themselves are omnivorous monsters. They can eat meat and plants, and can even survive by gnawing on stones to satisfy their hunger. Moreover, when food is scarce, they can
Rely on long-term dormancy to reduce energy requirements. The magic energy array in the underground labyrinth is still alive, and even the energy that escapes is enough to feed these monsters."
Not only the mutated scavenging squirrels, but also the other surviving monsters are like this, either fighting each other or becoming parasites of the magic energy array.
Of course, this kind of parasitism is not one-sided. After they die, their flesh and blood will naturally be classified as magic energy arrays and serve as new energy sources. Although it is not much, if the mosquito meat accumulates a lot, it is still meat.
The magic energy array can last for thousands of years, so there are naturally ways to work around it.
"This kind of problem is not a secret. You can find out at any information point, such as the Paradise Pavilion or the tea party."
"Isn't the tea party only for witches?" Vai and Kael ignored the Paradise Pavilion at the same time. After all, the elders were here, and they were too embarrassed to mention the Paradise Pavilion.
"Transfiguration, or paying to hire a female apprentice to help you ask. Do you still need me to teach you about this kind of thing?"
After the Black Earl finished mocking, he said calmly: "Before the exploration, it seems that your preparations were flawed."
It seemed to be just a concluding statement, but the Black Earl looked at Doakes with profound meaning.
He's just an apprentice, but Doakes is an official wizard, yet he didn't know about this and didn't make any preparations. This is obviously an unqualified thing.
Doakes was too embarrassed to say anything... He was the one who made the mistake.
"There is no absolute freedom in this world. If you pursue so-called freedom for the sake of a pitiful self-esteem, then ignorance is the price you have to pay. You should know what ignorance means in the wizarding world."
Ignorance means you die without knowing why.
This sentence was obviously meant for Doakes. As for whether Doakes could listen to it, that is another matter. At least Doakes did not talk back this time.
After the Black Earl finished speaking, he floated back to Angel's side leisurely.
"Everyone has the right to choose their own path. The path Doakes takes may not be wrong." Angel re-entered the "private chat" state with the Black Earl.
"This does not conflict with what I said." Black Earl: "I only said this for the sake of his inspiration. He can pursue freedom, but he cannot pursue ignorance."
Angel couldn't refute this statement.
Doakes is indeed a bit too undisciplined. It is not that serious to say that he is ignorant, but he rarely pays attention to things that cannot be profited. But sometimes, the interests are inseparable, and he only pays attention to the interests and does not pay attention to them.
If it is harmful, then it is a bit too biased, and it is only a matter of time that you encounter danger.
Therefore, although what the Black Earl said was unpleasant, at least it was for the sake of Doakes' future.
Angel thought for a while and said nothing more. He just hoped that Doakes would not turn a deaf ear to the Black Earl's words.
Just as they were thinking about each other, there was a fork in the road ahead.
This is a very strange fork in the road. On one side is a tall maze avenue, and on the other side is a small square window like a dog hole.
The window is not close to the ground, but is located dozens of meters high. If you use your mental energy to look around, you can vaguely see a road inside, but if you want to walk, you may need to climb in.
It is worth mentioning that the road in the small window, perhaps because it is too high, has no mutant scavenging squirrels coming in and out, while the main road is still crowded with mutant scavenging squirrels.
Encountering a fork in the road - let's say it was a fork in the road, Angel almost didn't hesitate and turned to look at Doakes.
But I saw Doakes still looking dazed.
Angel walked over, coughed twice, and after getting Doakes' attention back, he said, "You're not still thinking about what Lord Black Earl said, are you?"
Doakes immediately showed disdain: "I'm not thinking about these boring things, I'm just thinking about problems."
First he deliberately asked a question, but when Doakes retorted arrogantly, Angel immediately said: "Thinking about a problem? What problem are you thinking about? Are you also considering whether to drill a dog hole or continue to admire the beauty of the mutated scavenging squirrel?"
Dog hole? Before Doakes understood what it meant, Angel pointed to the small window high up.
"We are all thinking about which way to go. You are also thinking about this problem, right?" Angel asked.
Doakes was stunned for half a second, clapped his hands suddenly, and put his arms around Angel's shoulders: "Of course! I was thinking about this issue just now, is it a lackey hole, or should we continue to move forward?"
Without Angel's instructions, Dangelos jumped onto his shoulder and removed Doakes' hand consciously.
Angel said with a smile: "Then what conclusion did you come to? By the way, in fact, we have already voted just now, but now it is a tie of two to two, and the only difference is your vote. You can
